The Simplicity 6 glass veranda was specified for this residential outdoor living project in Pontyclun, Rhondda Cynon Taf, creating a bright, sheltered patio area that enhances the connection between the home and garden.

Supplied through Leekes, an approved Milwood Group Trade Partner, this project shows how a premium aluminium veranda can help homeowners make better use of an existing patio space.

Leekes are long-established home specialists with department store showrooms, where customers can explore furniture, kitchens, bathrooms, conservatory and glazing products, garden ranges and wider home improvement options.

The property benefits from a lovely garden and patio area, making it well suited to a wall-mounted veranda. The Simplicity 6 was installed across the rear elevation of the home, providing useful cover while keeping the area open, light and connected to the garden.

The 6mm clear toughened glass roof gives the veranda a bright, open feel, allowing daylight to pass through while still providing practical cover above the patio. This is especially valuable on rear-facing patios, where verandas are often positioned outside patio doors and need to maintain a natural connection between the home and garden.

The black fine-textured aluminium frame also works well against the light exterior of the property, creating a clean contrast while the decorative detailing adds a softer, more traditional finish.

This project used the Simplicity 6 Contemporary system, designed at 6.2m wide by 2m projection. The CAD specification confirmed a RAL 9005 Black Textured finish with 6mm clear glass roof panels.

The roof was designed with 8 individual 6mm clear glass panels, covering a total glass area of 11.39m². The system also included 70mm x 70mm aluminium posts, a 2.5° roof pitch and a 40mm internal downpipe for discreet water management.

For this project, the Simplicity 6 offered a strong balance of appearance, practicality and long-term performance.

Key benefits included:

• Bright glass roof finish
• Practical patio weather protection
• Low-maintenance aluminium framework
• Clear views into the garden
• Strong visual match with glazing
• Suitable for everyday outdoor use

The 2m projection provided a useful level of shelter without overpowering the patio, while the 6.2m width allowed the veranda to cover a larger section of the rear elevation.
